The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(5) Tuddenham Green 1.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, placed in handicaps at Haydock (11.6f) and Sandown (1¾m) on his 2 starts this year. Yard has landed this race on a few occasions over the years and he's of strong interest on hurdles debut.
2
2nd (2) (1.62/1 +35%) Age Of Sail
1.62/1(+35%)
(2) Age Of Sail 1.62/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat at up to 1½m, fifth of 14 in a Newbury handicap on final start for Joseph Parr last month. Appeals as the type to make his mark in this sphere for new yard and he's high on the shortlist.
3
3rd (4) (25/1 +11%) I Have A Voice
25/1(+11%)
(4) I Have A Voice 25/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Ireland for Jim Bolger but beaten a fair way in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) on hurdles debut at Plumpton last month.
4
4th (1) (4.5/1 -80%) Rolypolymoly
4.5/1(-80%)
(1) Rolypolymoly 4.5/1, Fair maiden on the Flat and took well to hurdles during the summer, making it 2-3 in this sphere when landing a 6-runner Worcester novice (2m) in August. Equipped with first-time cheekpieces here and may prove vulnerable conceding weight all round.
5th
5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Dicktate
12/1(-20%)
(3) Dicktate 12/1, Modest form on balance in various events on Flat. Has shown ability in this sphere but will need to raise his game if he's to emerge on top here following a wind operation.
LTO Selection:
13:42 Chepstow Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Peregrine Run 8/1, Useful chaser who ended long losing run in this sphere when taking 9-runner handicap at Worcester (23f, good) in August. Backed that up with good effort on Flat since but plenty on plate conceding weight all round here.
2
2nd (4) (1.38/1 +0%) Tea Clipper
1.38/1(+0%)
(4) Tea Clipper 1.38/1, Useful hurdler who made a winning debut over the larger obstacles at this meeeting 12 months ago. Ended campaign with solid placed efforts at Cheltenham/Aintree and looks nicely treated on his return to action.
3
3rd (8) (6.5/1 +19%) Gats And Co
6.5/1(+19%)
(8) Gats And Co 6.5/1, Really got his act together earlier this year, landing 4-timer (including 3 victories here) over this sort of trip. Possibly amiss when pulled up in more competitive event at Uttoxeter last time and can't be ruled out.
4
4th (5) (9/1 +10%) Jacamar
9/1(+10%)
(5) Jacamar 9/1, Off the mark over fences at Kempton on Boxing Day and doubled his tally in an uncompetitive event at Leicester in March. Only narrowly held at Sandown (20.1f) when last seen in April but is unproven over this trip and finds himself on a career-high mark now.
5th
5th (6) (22/1 +0%) Cap Du Nord
22/1(+0%)
(6) Cap Du Nord 22/1, Capitalised on a good mark in 14-runner handicap chase at Kempton (24f) in February before disappointing at Aintree. Likely unsuited by extreme trip in Bet365 Gold Cup next time but doesn't have a particularly good record first time up.
6th
6th (3) (3.2/1 +4%) Kitty's Light
3.2/1(+4%)
(3) Kitty's Light 3.2/1, Just foiled in this event 12 months ago and went on to make the frame in several more valuable handicaps, including Scottish National and Bet365 Gold Cup. Returns off a handy mark and looks likely to make presence felt again.
|PU|
|PU| (2) (14/1 -27%) El Presente
14/1(-27%)
(2) El Presente 14/1, Landed hat-trick in autumn of 2020, culminating in narrow victory in Badger Beer at Wincanton. Clearly had issues since, however, and not seen since below-par fifth in same contest last season.
LTO Selection:
14:17 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Sebastopol 0.22/1, Better than ever over fences during the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Kempton and this course prior to finishing third in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock. Below par back in this sphere at Newton Abbot when last seen but he's a big player for last year's winning yard all the same.
2
2nd (3) (3.33/1 +76%) Victorias Peak
3.33/1(+76%)
(3) Victorias Peak 3.33/1, Point winner who shaped very well when a clear second on hurdles debut at Newbury in January. Duly landed the odds in a first-time tongue strap (retained here) in a Hexham maiden (2½m) on return/debut for new yard last month but improvement is certainly needed starting out over fences at this level.
LTO Selection:
14:52 Chepstow Maiden Chase (Class 1) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(3) Flic Ou Voyou 2.25/1, Had a mixed first campaign over fences, just managing sole success (in match at Doncaster) and ending season with disappointing fourth at Sandown in April. Has scored first time up before, however, and returns on a fair mark. Respected.
2
2nd (4) (5.5/1 -83%) Galahad Quest
5.5/1(-83%)
(4) Galahad Quest 5.5/1, Unable to score in 7 attempts last term, ending campaign with creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f) in March. Now with Jane Williams and any rain would enhance his claims.
3
3rd (1) (2.75/1 -57%) Paint The Dream
2.75/1(-57%)
(1) Paint The Dream 2.75/1, Improved over fences last season, taking this contest and Greatwood Gold Cup (19.8f) off 10 lb lower. Far from disgraced in Melling Chase at Aintree on final start and look sure to make another bold bid on return here.
|F|
|F| (2) (2/1 +33%) Light N Strike
2/1(+33%)
(2) Light N Strike 2/1, Won 3 of his 8 starts over fences and had excuses when seventh at Market Rasen when last seen in this sphere in July. Since acquitted himself well over hurdles and must enter calculations back over larger obstacles here.
LTO Selection:
15:27 Chepstow Handicap Chase (Class 2) 19f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(2) Knappers Hill 3.2/1, Smart bumper winner who made the most of a good opportunity at Newton Abbot before following up in a competitive Sandown handicap hurdle in April. Reappears off a 7 lb higher mark but could still have a bit more to offer, particularly at this trip.
2
2nd (9) (8/1 -33%) Lord Baddesley
8/1(-33%)
(9) Lord Baddesley 8/1, Standout effort last season when fourth of 14 to Glory And Fortune in Betfair Hurdle at Newbury in February. Fell heavily ninth in handicap won by Bourbali at Plumpton on final outing, too far out to suggest outcome but was making headway at the time. Same mark to work with on return.
3
3rd (6) (2.5/1 +44%) Broomfield Burg
2.5/1(+44%)
(6) Broomfield Burg 2.5/1, Dual novice hurdle winner who has his quirks but wasn't seen to best effect in a small-field contest at Market Rasen in July and could have benefited from a recent breathing operation. Player.
4
4th (5) (12/1 -41%) Didtheyleaveuoutto
12/1(-41%)
(5) Didtheyleaveuoutto 12/1, Useful sort who ran a cracker when runner-up off 2 lb lower in this contest 12 months ago. Turned in a rare poor effort in 3m Haydock handicap on final jumps start but has been ticking over nicely on the Flat this summer. Not taken lightly.
5th
5th (8) (7/1 +56%) Unanswered Prayers
7/1(+56%)
(8) Unanswered Prayers 7/1, Showed a good attitude to overcome a double penalty at Plumpton in March before an insufficient test of stamina when 1¾ lengths second of 4 to Bourbali in handicap there (20.5f) on final outing.
6th
6th (4) (14/1 -100%) Masters Legacy
14/1(-100%)
(4) Masters Legacy 14/1, Scored on return at this meeting (2m) in 2021/22. Disappointed on final 2 outings last season but it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back now returning from a 6-month break and a breathing operation.
7th
7th (1) (12/1 +14%) Proschema
12/1(+14%)
(1) Proschema 12/1, Smart hurdler who ran well under top weight when third in a competitive 3m Haydock handicap hurdle in May. Shaped as if still in good heart over an extreme trip back on the Flat at Royal Ascot in June. Should go well back from another break.
8th
8th (10) (16/1 -167%) Zabeel Champion
16/1(-167%)
(10) Zabeel Champion 16/1, Smart handicapper on Flat. Successful start over hurdles at Leicester (2m) in November and regained the winning thread on handicap debit at Haydock in April, rallying to lead again final 100 yds. Seems sure to win more handicaps this season (mark still generous on Flat form). Up in trip.
9th
9th (7) (11/1 -10%) Bourbali
11/1(-10%)
(7) Bourbali 11/1, Big improver last season, completing a hat-trick in 4-runner handicap at Plumpton (20.5f, good) in April, again jumping neatly in front. This asks for more, but further progress can't be ruled out.
10th
10th (3) (66/1 -100%) West To The Bridge
66/1(-100%)
(3) West To The Bridge 66/1, In the form of his life last season, completing a 4-timer at Newton Abbot (26.5f) in March. Had his winning run ended in first-time cheekpieces at Perth on final outing and looks vulnerable to better-treated rivals on this return to action.
LTO Selection:
16:02 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(8) Mothill 9/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France who took a big step forward on third hurdles start when going close in a maiden here in February. Duly landed the odds at Fontwell (17.7f) next time and he needs a second look off what looks a fair mark for this handicap debut.
2
2nd (7) (6/1 +40%) Krypton Gold
6/1(+40%)
(7) Krypton Gold 6/1, Ended last season with ready win at Ascot in March and recorded creditable efforts at Aintree and Newton Abbot off this mark in midsummer. Another good effort when runner-up back from a break at Uttoxeter (2½m) and he's in with an each-way shout.
3
3rd (6) (22/1 -57%) Sawbuck
22/1(-57%)
(6) Sawbuck 22/1, Off the mark in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in May but limitations seemingly exposed since, for all that he was far from disgraced in a 2m handicap at Listowel recently. Others look stronger.
4
4th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Too Friendly
4.5/1(-13%)
(3) Too Friendly 4.5/1, Flat winner for George Scott and landed juvenile events at Stratford and Newcastle on first 2 starts over hurdles last term. Performed with credit when fifth off this mark in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival, form which gives him strong claims in this contest.
5th
5th (1) (4.5/1 +40%) Impulsive One
4.5/1(+40%)
(1) Impulsive One 4.5/1, Impressive winner of a listed juvenile at Musselburgh (15.5f) in February. However, came up short in graded company on his next 2 starts and no easy task off what looks a tough mark on his handicap debut in this sphere.
6th
6th (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Saint Segal
4.5/1(-13%)
(2) Saint Segal 4.5/1, Successful at Bangor and Warwick either side of his excellent second in the C&D Grade 1 Juvenile Hurdle last season. Shaped better than his finishing position suggests in the Fred Winter at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen in March (since undergone a wind op) and he remains with potential.
7th
7th (4) (3.5/1 +22%) Bagheera Ginge
3.5/1(+22%)
(4) Bagheera Ginge 3.5/1, Continued theme of race-by-race progress when accounting for 5 rivals upped to 21.6f in a Newton Abbot novice last month. More on his plate now pitched into a handicap but drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue and it's likely that he has more to offer.
8th
8th (5) (14/1 -115%) Silver Shade
14/1(-115%)
(5) Silver Shade 14/1, Dual Flat winner who took well to hurdles last season, winning juvenile events at Kempton and Fontwell. Creditable second at Stratford (18.7f) on final start of that campaign and place possibilities on return/handicap debut with a first-time tongue strap enlisted.
9th
9th (10) (40/1 -21%) Appreciate
40/1(-21%)
(10) Appreciate 40/1, Rattled off a quick-fire 4-timer over hurdles earlier this year and added to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.7f) last month. Shouldn't be judged too hardly on his latest Market Rasen effort but he looks vulnerable in any case.
LTO Selection:
16:37 Chepstow Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
(3) Stans The Man 6.5/1, Milan gelding who has showed fair form in a couple of bumpers 11 months apart (left Laura Young after debut). Not discounted for all he has another absence to overcome.
2
2nd (1) (16/1 -45%) Harvie Wallbanger
16/1(-45%)
(1) Harvie Wallbanger 16/1, Irish point winner who made a positive start when third of 6 at Ffos Las 4 months ago. Should step forward from that if he's ready to go.
3
3rd (10) (2.5/1 -25%) Pentire Head
2.5/1(-25%)
(10) Pentire Head 2.5/1, €145,000 3-y-o, Presenting gelding. Brother to temperamental but useful hurdler/chaser Mount Mews, stayed 3m. Will peak further down the line but should have enough ability to compete in this.
4
4th (2) (5/1 +17%) Max's Champ
5/1(+17%)
(2) Max's Champ 5/1, Half-brother to French 11f-13.5f winner Trawangane and showed clear signs of ability facing a stiff task in a competitive event at Punchestown 162 days ago. Open to improvement.
5th
5th (11) (2.25/1 +30%) Thatza Dazzler
2.25/1(+30%)
(11) Thatza Dazzler 2.25/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam, 8.5f-13f winner, half-sister to fairly useful French chaser (2¼m-21f winner) Le Bois Geffroy. Notable newcomer for stable that does well in this discipline.
6th
6th (4) (50/1 -355%) Always Busy
50/1(-355%)
(4) Always Busy 50/1, Out of a winning hurdler and made a positive start when second in a bumper at Newton Abbot in October. This looks a stronger race and stable tends to take the patient approach.
7th
7th (8) (28/1 -100%) Lazy O
28/1(-100%)
(8) Lazy O 28/1, Slade Power gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¼m) Dynamic Drive.
8th
8th (9) (8.5/1 -42%) Letmetellusomethin
8.5/1(-42%)
(9) Letmetellusomethin 8.5/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 3¼m) Santini. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
9th
9th (6) (11/1 +78%) Bob Bank
11/1(+78%)
(6) Bob Bank 11/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (b78), ran once in bumper, half-sister to smart hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Cooldine and useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Fists of Fury.
10th
10th (12) (100/1 +0%) Bear A Hand
100/1(+0%)
(12) Bear A Hand 100/1, Pether's Moon mare. Half-sister to modest hurdler Flight To Nowhere. Dam, winning pointer, maiden over hurdles.
11th
11th (7) (125/1 -150%) Gower Prince
125/1(-150%)
(7) Gower Prince 125/1, Half-brother to a bumper winner and showed something to work on when fourth at Warwick on debut 5 months ago. Failed to beat a rival there 9 days ago, however.
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

About U.K Horse Racing
Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
